Manik looks at nandu in shock once pillow falls down from his face...he is surprised by her this act as he never expected it to happen....before he can compose himself he was awarded by a rain of pillows and he sat down in order to avoid them but later realised it as his biggest mistake as he was covered by pillows from top to bottom....

he moved his head from them to look at nandu who is doing a happy dance as manik got punished and his sulking face was a treat to watch !!

She stopped her dance and stood with her hands akimbo as manik removed all pillows and was smiling at her which made her conscious and manik frown...he thought that nandu's anger is over but he is absolutely wrong as this was just a beginning....he held his ears making a cute pout hoping to melt her heart but little did he knew that today no one can save him...

Nandu(smirking):Not so easily Mr. Malhotra !! I guess...aapki saara matter pata chal gaya hoga tabhi aap itne careful hai !! But...this time I am not gonna forgive you....

Manik(pleading):Please....nanduu !! Acha...ok...I will do whatever you say....

Nandu(evilly):Whatever I say ??

Manik(scared):Y...e...s !!

Nandu(smiling):Ok !!

She asked him to sit on bed and opened cupboard...manik thought she will give him his dress to change but got shocked when she removed her dress as she was already in her night wear...he understood what was coming towards him but remained quiet....nandu handed him her night gown and asked him to change...manik made a horrified expression but she is not going to budge any of that !! Defeated....manik left to washroom after grabbing the dress and came out wearing....

(Ignore the gloves)

Nandu giggled and made him sit on dressing chair amidst his protests....she took out her new makeup kit which manik bought for her when he went to London for some project as she graduated in top but never thought that she will use them on him !! That kit have special black shades box which became his worst enemy !!

Nandu used her entire knowledge on eye shadows and made him the most beautiful sight to watch(note the sarcasm) and brought her few neck pieces which she had in her bag and decorated him gracefully !! Once she was done...she made him stand at a place and took his picture not paying any heed to his pleads as it will be too hilarious if anyone watches that picture where The great Manik Malhotra is looking like a joker who is known for his good looks !! She showed him his picture....

(assume the dress too guys)

Manik made a grumpy face and whined to forgive him....nandu after having a hearty laugh till her stomach aches nandu let him go and manik rushed to washroom to change after grabbing his night wear....he tried a lot to remove the makeup but couldn't and hence called nandu inside washroom as he already got changed...nandu reached washroom to get scared at the sight as he tried to wash it with water directly and spread it on his entire face looking like a black ghost !!

(somewhat like this)

Nandu calmed her breath and moved towards him while giggling....she took out cotton and rose water from a cabinet and slowly started to remove it with cotton....while removing it she reached inches near his face and is trying hard to stand on her toes due to his monster height and finally not being able to see her struggle manik held her waist with his both hands while their breath mingled with each other....nandu is having a hard time to control her blush while manik too was feeling some attraction and is trying very hard to control his urge to touch her lips as they are looking very luscious having them too near !!

He got busy in admiring her face while nandu finished wiping while trying to calm her breath which is just flowing out of control....she finally cleaned all the makeup and threw cotton...now she took a wet wipes and started to clean his face all over again when manik slowly started to caress her face with his thumb....

He slowly moved his finger all over her face while nandu finished her cleaning and stared in his eyes which are already lost in her face but now found their ultimate destination that is her eyes....she left the wipe and cupped his cheek while he slowly traced his thumb on her lips which are inviting him....

He left her lips and cupped her face in his two hands....he slowly came near her face while nandu too flowed with the moment...his aftershave smell was making her weak on knees...she held his shoulders for support and both closed their eyes lost in the moment !!

Manik was about to kiss her lips but got into senses...he then realised what he was about to do...but...he can't backout at this point and hence slowly kissed her forehead sighing while nandu smiled inwardly knowing he still needs time to make a move !!

They both opened their eyes and nandu too kissed his cheeks....

They both opened their eyes and nandu faced him....manik was still not getting her lips and face out of his mind but controlled his urge and caressed her hair !!

His eyes held a lot of emotions while nandu had a pained expression as his eyes are clearing showing his heart state but his mind is not realising it ...she is just thinking what should she do so that he can accept his feelings for her !! Manik couldn't control more and hugged her tightly !!

Manik(worried):Agar uss dhruv ne kuch kiya hota toh...pata nahin kaise usse itna easily liya...how can I be so careless ?? socha he can't be much serious but....

Nandu broke the hug and placed finger on his lips...

Nandu:shhh !!!! Manik tum kabhi kisiko mere paas bhi nahin aane dete...and who can think that champu will do such stunt and tumne na aaj tak mujhe kisi problem mein jaane diya nahi kabhi jaane dega....agar tum careless hote toh itna future planning kaise kar lete ?? Waise...woh dhruv bahut easy tha...saale mein dum hi nahin hai !!

Manik(sternly):Nandu....language !!

Nandu made a cute pout while manik laughed and looking at his laugh nandu too laughed...their laugh broke by a sound made by their stomachs indicating hunger !! Manik looked at nandu with shock while she smiled sheepishly...he nodded his head in disbelief and moved to room while dragging her behind him and through intercom asked a servant to bring two plates of warm food....Cocktail party consisted Italian foods....Manik made nandu sit on couch in the room and sat beside her !!

Manik:kyun ??

Nandu:You know na...I can't eat without you...aur aaj lunch mein bhi arya ne feed kiya mujhe tumne nahin...issliye I thought ki waise bhi you didn't ate anything...why not we both have it together ?? So....

He just smiled at her cute explanation and servant brought pasta and noodles after heating them and went away after placing it on table infront of couch....

Manik started to feed her pasta while she started with noodles....she was smiling all the time as afternoon at that when everyone are being fed by love of their lives she missed him a lot but didn't showed it as she can't deny arya who became a good friend of her in few days !! Manik was thinking about his behaviour back in washroom and continued to feed her along with eating !! They finished their food and settled on bed to talk where most of the time nandu was chatting about her and arya morning jog, how she kicked dhruv while manik is just admiring her features and trying to memorize as much as possible as once she will get married he may not be able to see her this closely...though he is the only one whom nandu wish to meet yet he can't as for every woman after her marriage her husband will be everything for her even though she denies !! They both slept while talking randomly !!

Next morning

Manik wokeup before nandu and smiled looking at her as she was pressing him as if he is a teddybear....but soon his smile changed into sad expression as he remembered last night's moments and sighed to himself !! He got lost in his thoughts and finally decided to talk to his grandparents about his decision which he made for nandu and according to him that will be the best thing in his life !! Manik slowly untangled himself from nandu and moved towards washroom to get ready for the day....marriage is at afternoon and all the rituals at morning are girls events...hence he is not required !! He came out after getting ready in casuals and noticed nandu sitting on bed with eyes half closed..he smiled at her and slowly moved near bed....sensing his presence nandu hugged his waist with a goofy smile and tried to sleep again but manik hit her head lightly....she left him with an annoyed expression and rubbed her head while yawning.....manik chuckled and lifted her in his arms while nandu snuggled inside his chest happily !! Manik made her stand on floor in shower cabinet and moved a little away so that he is not near her hand reach and switched on the shower !! Nandu got shocked and opened her eyes and mouth widely in an instant !!

She closed her eyes and let the water flow down and once her sleep was gone she removed water from her hair and switched off shower !!

Manik was giggling looking at her while nandu glared at him and was about to run behind him but he was too quick as he ran out and bolted the door from outside....

Nandu(banging the door):Manikk !!! Open the door....main chodungi nahin tujhe !!

Manik(laughing):Main door kholunga toh tu kuch kar payegi na...jaldi se ready ho ja...navya needs you !!

Nandu:Arghhh !!!!

Manik laughed and left after opening the bolt when he was sure that nandu calmed down and ran out of the room after closing it from outside !! Manik reached his grandparents room as they were given connecting rooms and found them chit chatting in a single room...he felt it as right time to speak what's in his heart and knocked the door to gain their attention as he was already inside !! They smiled at him and asked him to come....manik entered inside and sat between his amms and dadi who are caressing his hair lovingly !!

Amms:Nandu kahan hai bacha ?? Kal raat dekh nahin paaye....uthi ki nahin ??

Manik(giggling):Uth gayi amms !! Washroom mein hai !!

Dadi:Aur bata sab teekh hai na....kal raat toh tu drive kar raha tha issliye kuch poocha nahin par you both are happy right ?? Kabhi humare paas nahin aate tum log...akhele rehte ho...humein bhi tumhare saath nahin rehne dete ho !! We get worked up for you both beta !!

Amms:Haan beta...issliye to reduce our tension we decided to get nandu married......

She tried to speak gaining courage when manik smiled widely as he thought they are also thinking same and looking at his smile they all looked at each other with a smile as they thought he will shout at them but looking at his smile they felt relieved and his dada tried to speak when manik spoke shocking them to the core....

Manik(smiling):Main bhi yahi soch raha tha ki we should get nandu married....I knew a match which is perfect for nandu !!

They looked at him with a frown while manik continued...

Manik:Woh....Mr. khuranna hain na unka ek beta hai...he is so good and he likes nandu a lot...nandu is also comfortable with him !! Agar nandu ki shaadi usse hogi toh nandu bahut khush hogi...I will make sure that he becomes the best business man...infact more than me...I will personally train him aur pata hain best part kya hain ?? Iss shaadi se nandu ko phirse maa aur papa jaise saas sasur milenge...kitni khushi ki baat hai na ??

Dadu:Par manik !! Tum dono ke parents ki wish....aur infact hum sabki bhi wish hai ki tum dono shaado karlo...tabhi toh humne tum dono ko akhela choda tha coz you both were meant to be together !! Par...

Manik(smiling):Daduu !! Agar humare parents alive hote aur agar unhone mujhse poocha hota ki nandu se shaadi karo toh main kar leta...kyunki main khud usko apne se dur nahin bejna chahtha hoon aur humare saath hi rehti thi !! Par....ab circumstances alag hain...we don't have parents...kitna bhi koshish kyun na karoon...main usse parents nahin de sakta hoon !!

Nana:par manik beta....

Manik(cutting him off):Agar aap logon ke paas koyi aur rishta hai toh batayiye...nahin toh ek baar ladke se mil lijiye...dulhan ka bhai hain !!

He stood up and left from there as he don't want to listen to anything...moreover if he will be with them then he might feel more guilty for letting nandu get married to someone else which he can never bear or wish to do but was left with no other option !!

Soo...guys !! Ab kya hoga ?? Manik ke letters padhne ke liye abhi time hain....How many are excited guys ??
